Gaite hopes the United States will evaluate the mil!tary support provided to the Philippines.
“Trump largely ignored this issue and sustained its mil!tary aid to the regime amidst issues of rights vi0lations. We hope President Biden would support the enactment of the Philippine HumanRights Act championed last year by Democratic Rep. Susan W!ld and 23 other members of the US Congress. President Biden has sworn to reverse the inhu*mane policies of his predecessor, we hope this would extend to his foreign policy, and the consideration of this bill remains urgent as the humanrights situation in our country w0rsens. (there is a need for the Biden government to) immediately review the plan to sell h3llf!re miss!les, att*ack helicopters, assa*ult boats, and other armaments to the Duterte administration totaling to more than $2,000,000,000. These w3apons would excessively aggravate the state of humanrights in the country, and bolster the tyra*nny of the regime. He could go on and continue Trump’s support to the assa*ult on humanrights in the Philippines or he could abrogate these mil!tary deals and genuinely commit to the cause of humanrights,” said Gaite.
